Game: it follows daily dance (8)
I believe the answer is:
softball
'game' is the definition.
(softball is a kind of game)
'it follows daily dance' is the wordplay.
'it follows' becomes 'so'.
'daily' becomes 'FT' (the Financial Times is a daily newspaper).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'so'+'ft'+'ball'='SOFTBALL'
(Other definitions for softball that I've seen before include "game" , "played by young American" , "sport!"" , "Junior variant of baseball" .)
